one quilt: august
August 19th, 2008
This was my month for the one quilt project. I was pretty picky with the instructions (well I’m picky, I can’t help it) and the fabric choices were not super thrilling (unless you like gray as much as I do). But I did ask everyone to incorporate a 3D or textural element into their block, which I was pretty excited about. Granted, I have no idea if this will even work in a quilt, but whatever. I used pleats for my block and thought it turned out well until I read my directions and had to add another strip of fabric to make it the right size. I’m going to put all the blocks in a line down the middle of the quilt. And once (if) it gets done it will go in our bedroom, because I spilled bleach all over our quilt. real swift, meg.

I love the idea of the texture and I think the fabric choices are elegent.
I really like the grey fabric. The pleats are also really neat. It’s fun to have texture too in a quilt.
Oh, I love the idea of pleats in a quilt! Wonderful!
I love the pleats…you will see just how much I love pleats/pin-tucks when I post the picture of the beetle I made for Plush You…yep, one of the critters was a beetle.
Oh, how pretty! I think I may have to organize one of these virtual quilting bees because I want to play!!!
i love the pleats. love.
I love the colors and the texture.
I really like the combination of the different prints, textures and colours. Very elegant!
I especially like the grey print and the polka dots. The colors are very calming.
I love these colors. The grey is very cooling and the blue is like a breeze. beautiful.
Oh…love it, I’m working on a babyquilt with similar colours! The texture makes it really intresting!
Wow, beautiful start.
2nd month and I’m already late, it’s coming by the end of the week. sorry for the delay!!
